PENHOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 772,000, dated October11, 1904. Application filed November 18, 1903. Serial No. 181,671. (Nomodel.)

To all w/wm t may concern.-

Be it known that I, HERMANN PURscHKE, a subject of the Emperor ofGermany, residing at Elizabethstrasse 34, Dsseldorf, Germany, haveinvented certain new and useful improvements in penholders combined withpencils, erasers, knives, corkscrews, pencilsharpeners, files, seals,cigar-cutters, and similar objects; and I d0 hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

The object of the present invention relates t0 an instrument for the useon desks; and it consists in the combination of a'penholderjwith pencil,knife, corkscrew, pencil-Sharpener,v

lile, seal, cigar-cutter, &c.

In the accompanying drawings the instrument is represented by Figure lin elevation. Fig. 2 shows in elevation the screw-cap serving as a seal.closed, the position of the different parts being indicated by dottedlines. Fig. 4 is an end view ofthe cap, showing the seal.

A sleeve or tube a, made of any suitable material, is provided, as shownin the drawing as an example, with a penholder a pencil c, a knife (Z,and file f, being arranged slidably in the ordinary well-known manner,pins with round heads serving to move them by traveling in longitudinalslots. On one end the tube a is provided with a seal la, preferably inFig. 3 shows the instrument the shape of a screw-cap, having on theouter surface the engraving and carrying on the rear or inner surface apiece of rubber for erasing purposes.

It is evident that by making a tube wide enough six or more tools may bearranged at each end either slidably, as shown, or they may be screwedin or may be hinged to the tube a in the same manner as the blades ofpocket-knives,

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, andwish tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

As an improved article of manufacture, the herein-described deskimplement comprising a tube having slots extending longitudinallythereof in opposite directions from near its center, one end of saidtube being exteriorly threaded, a plurality of implements mounted toslide within said tube and guided by means in said slots and a screw-cap removably engaged upon the threaded end of the tube and retainingthe implements at said end of the tube, and a seal, carried by said capall substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

HERMANN PURSCHKE.
